Documenting Their Lives, Telling Their Stories

Susie Sherman’s Quilt

Susie Sherman lived in a time when you used everything you had, over and over until it was pretty well used up. Most women made quilts and Susie was no exception. Just the other day I came across the beginning of a Crazy Quilt that Susie was working on… here’s what it looks like… I wonder what other garments might have been part of this quilt had she been able to finish it. Notice her basting threads are still in the quilt.
